The issue of performance-enhancing substances [PEDs] in sports never ends! Fighters getting accused of using PEDs has become an all too familiar occurrence, with some of the biggest names in Dana White‘s promotion embroiled in these accusations. Most recently, outspoken middleweight star Sean Strickland took a shot at the promotion, suggesting that they entertain this element and let athletes cheat their way to the top without any follow-up consequences.

He addressed the PED use as a loophole, drawing an interesting parallel between the promotion and the popular game ‘Call of Duty’. Strickland’s move has certainly stirred the pot, with fight fans taking notice and adding their two cents.
